Former Kerry attacker Declan O’Sullivan says he’s been impressed by the development and leadership skills demonstrated by Sean O’Shea.

O’Shea kicked 1-7 in the Kingdom’s hammering of Clare last Saturday to advance into the semi-finals of the Munster football championship.

Speaking to RTE Sport, O’Sullivan admitted to being “a huge fan” of the Kenmare sharpshooter.

"I think he's a very flexible player and I'm a huge fan," O'Sullivan said.

"I was involved with Jack O'Connor at minor level when Seanie was with us and then we had him for a year at U20 level.

"He has developed his game fantastically well, great attitude, great temperament, and he has kept developing. You can see that in his demeanour.

"His body language is really strong in showing leadership on the field. For such a young guy you would have to be impressed with his overall game. His kicking ability is there for everybody to see but there is so much more to his overall game. His leadership skills for such a young fella really stands out."
